And miker, the notion of language constructing reality is
fundamental to postmodernist thought. If you're interested,
start reading The History of Sexuality, vol. 1, by Foucault,
or more or less anything by Foucault

that one, but I know a man who has.)
********** Thanks for the info on that, Johnny. I've been
trying to come up to speed on some of the schools of literary
thought but it's slow going. I've picked up a couple books on
the subject but haven't spent much time with them. From what
I gather, the more recent the school of thought is, the
heavier it is into philosophical obscurities that a simple
mind like mine will probably never fathom.
Thanks again, miker
